NB: So much for Ivy League education. Some life is more precious than other life. Some people have the right to defend themselves; while others, especially if backed by Uncle Sam, must not even protest whilst being slaughtered. After all, they’re just ‘human animals’. Your racist prejudice shines through the ivy. The statement of the… Read More The Harvard Law Review Refused to Run This Piece About Genocide in Gaza
NB: This a damn shame, even worse is that it has been going on for decades; and despite promises by the police and various administrations to educate the public and punish the offenders, nothing changes. Calling people chinki‘s and prostitutes because of the way they look is racist and misogynist. Those politicians who go on… Read More ‘What’s your rate’. Northeast women still have it bad in Delhi.

Events point to Israel’s strategy of emptying the north of Gaza of its Palestinian population, with both the massive bombardment that has damaged at least 222,000 residential units, and the refusal to accept a ceasefire so essential life-saving provisions cannot enter. All this shows the massive pressure on the Palestinian population to move south, thus ethnically… Read More Israel has long wanted Palestinians out of Gaza: my father saw it first-hand
Carolina Landsmann This column isn’t about Hamas. It doesn’t address the question of what Hamas wants and doesn’t try to put the events of October 7 into their historical context, much less into their moral context. What’s theirs is theirs. This column also isn’t about the more general question of what the Palestinians want and… Read More Israel’s Million-dollar Question: What to Do With the West Bank and Gaza Strip
“[H]e brought into his government, when he came back to power late last year, the most extreme, I mean, this is beyond fascism, the most extreme parties in Israel. The religious Zionists and the Jewish power. I mean, these people are terrorists and some of them actually have been on the State Department terrorism watch… Read More Juan Cole: Palestine’s Obituary
Joe Biden was the Democratic Party’s duct-tape solution to a national emergency, the compromise candidate who was almost everyone’s second (or third) choice. Given that, the duct tape held surprisingly well for a while, in increasingly precarious circumstances. Until it didn’t. It would be foolish in the extreme to predict the outcome of an election… Read More Joe Biden at history’s crossroads: Is backing Bibi’s Gaza war a fatal mistake?
We can tell the world is changing when tens of thousands of Texans rally in the capital of America’s most important red state to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and freedom for Palestine. No longer can the Israeli government enforce its deadly calculus of 10 (or 50? or 100?) Palestinian lives for each Israeli killed… Read More Time’s Up for Netanyahu and Biden
By Dan Sheehan It’s been a hell of a 24 hours for writers demonstrating moral courage. Last night at the National Book Awards, over a dozen NBA finalists took to the stage to use their moment in the spotlight to oppose the ongoing bombardment of Gaza and to call for a ceasefire. Then, earlier this morning,… Read More Read Anne Boyer’s extraordinary New York Times resignation letter
The next surprise won’t come as a surprise. It may be less deadly than the previous one, October 7, but its price will be steep. When it lands on top of us, leaving us stunned by the enemy’s brutality, nobody will be able to claim they didn’t know it was coming. The military will be… Read More Gideon Levy: Israel’s Next Surprise Is Coming From the West Bank
